This is a free, residential, one-week college prep experience specifically designed for high-achieving high school juniors to explore HBCUs and prepare for college life.
The TMCF SOAR Scholars Program at Texas Southern University is a tuition-free, one-week residential college readiness experience designed for high-achieving high school juniors (rising seniors) to prepare them for success in higher education and beyond. Participants will engage in a weeklong immersive workshop series, academic enrichment sessions, and personal as well as professional development programming. The program aims to empower students to strengthen academic preparation, develop leadership skills, and explore future career pathways while living and learning on the campus of a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). Students will learn about HBCU and HBCC institutions, college admissions, financial aid, and scholarship opportunities, while also discovering career pathways, academic programs, and campus life. The program also includes opportunities to connect with current students, faculty, staff, and alumni, and build a meaningful network with peers.
Students will participate in seminars, develop team presentations, network with business professionals and HBCU alumni, interact with college students, and participate in workshops on college admissions, financial aid, scholarships, and HBCUs.
The program is ideal for high-achieving high school juniors (rising seniors) who are interested in exploring college options, including HBCUs, and developing leadership and academic skills for post-secondary success.
